Show Thoughts & Shots // Sommo Day 1: Valley // 13.09.25

October 28, 2025 Trev

Valley was another of the big surprises at Sommo Festival. Their brand of energetic pop-infused indie-rock packed them in at the Nova 7 stage tent. This was one of the bands on the bill that is enjoying a bit of a glow-up with the success of "Bass Player's Brother" and will be touring the country… Read More

Over Natal Day weekend, we hopped in the car and made the trek down to New Glasgow to experience our very first Jubilee (for the festival's 29th iteration).

Show Thoughts & Shots // Arkells @ Scotiabank Centre // 18.10.24

November 9, 2024 Trev

There are plenty of acts in the Canadian music scene, but not many venture further east than Montreal. Many in the Maritimes have a gripe that bands seem to forget about the four provinces on the East Coast. Make whatever argument you may like: distance,… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Arkells w/ Lights @ The Scotiabank Centre – 30.09.22

October 2, 2022 Trev

The Scotiabank Centre is a venue that holds a significant amount of personal reverence. it’s a room that I’ve spent a fair amount of time over the years, sitting alongside my dad watching The Voyageurs, The Oilers, and The Citadels, then in later years I was bitten by the concert bug after my mom took… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // Fresh New Ear Worms

March 5, 2022 Trev

While 2022 has kept pace with 2020 and 2021 in the sense that this has been another dumpster fire of a year, at least live music is finally on the verge of a comeback, and bands are starting to drop new tracks at an alarming rate. There have been some great tunes dropped from seasoned… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk

April 14, 2021 Trev

When the Pandemic began back in 2020, we all thought it would be nipped in the bud and we could carry on with our lives as if we weren't undergoing some sort of paradigm shift. Unfortunately, that has not been the case, and we're well over a year into this. People still don't fully grasp… Read More

November 4, 2020 Trev

Welcome back to the latest installment of the Midweek Mixdown, and here's hoping that we have hit rock bottom of 2020, and now hopefully can begin the rebound with a more balanced Captain leading the ship that is the US of A. It's been a dreadfully long 2020 already, and this political rhetoric is downright… Read More

Album Review // Campfire Chords – Arkells

2020 has been quite the year, as we somehow found ourselves mired in the darkest of timelines. A leveling of society that is unlike anything we've seen before. Fortunately, there is a band that is more than ready to toss their growing fanbase a flashlight to get them through the back third of 2020. Max,… Read More

It's hard to believe where the time goes, eh? We're already up against the dreaded time change, where we lose that fabled hour of sleep, but isn't it really worth it to gain an extra hour of daylight per day? It's going to be alright, we'll get through it together. It's been a bit since… Read More
